Fire on the terrace of the hotel Pulitzer in Barcelona: worker treated for smoke
A fire on the terrace of the hotel Pulitzer disrupted the morning in the heart of Barcelona. The column of smoke, visible from several spots near plaza Catalunya, caused alarm in an area with a high number of people.
The fire started on the rooftop of the building, prompting a swift response from the Bomberos de Barcelona. Two crews managed to bring the flames under control within minutes, preventing them from spreading to other parts of the hotel or neighbouring buildings.
As a result of the smoke, a worker had to be treated by emergency services. No other injuries have been reported, although the situation caused tense moments for those in the area.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. The speed of the response was key to containing the incident in a particularly sensitive part of the city centre.
The hotel Pulitzer is known for its terrace and strategic location, which increases the visibility of any incident that occurs on its premises.
Incidents like this have a direct impact on daily life in the centre. In areas with a high density of pedestrians, a rapid response from emergency services is crucial to avoid greater risks and maintain safety in busy spaces.
